Guitar Sampler/Synthesizer

#1

It's been three months of intense patching with Axoloti and finally I've got my sequenced sampler patch ready to go on the road and hopefully on stage this summer! Thanks to all of you that helped me, the input of this community is really great!

It is kind of a sampler that records little samples of my playing, triggers them from a step sequencer that I patched, plays the samples back in different octaves and/or reverse and puts it through filter and amp envelopes. In the end everything goes through a delay.

I control it using a nanokontrol 2 and I added jacks for Guitar Footswitches and Expression Pedals. The sound you here is purely axoloti, no external fx added. (really shitty recording, I want to change that in the future!) For guitar I want to add a preamp to make it sound more like an electric guitar, but this is already quite expressive.

Since it's nice weather here I want to play with it on the streets. I also plan to integrate this into a bigger more professional live setup, so If you're in Germany maybe you can catch me playing on a festival, the one that starts with and f and ends with usion for example :slight_smile:

That's fantastic! very musical and inspiring!

Great work, the pitch shifted guitar sounds very musical - sometimes even harp and bell like.

#4

Great job! Sounds fantastic

He guys, glad you like it, gives me more drive to work further on this :slight_smile:

Yeah it's incredible what kind of interesting textures you can get by simply pitching audio material. I've been trying all of this out for years in the studio, now I finally have a device that does it in realtime in a performance :slight_smile:
It get's even more interesting once you start feeding this with an Instrument that has more Harmonics, such as Acoustic Guitar or an electric with a proper preamp/amp sim.

Very cool indeed! Well done..

Sounds great! Nice to see a trusty Nanokontrol 2 too. The Nanoseries pairs really well with the axoloti.

Great Work...
Could I ask you, does this mean you got Pitch detection that I have read about from your other comments to work ?
Would I be asking too much if I asked for a copy of your wonderful Patch work ??

Is this guitar delay/fx patch posted anywhere?

Thx for the kind comments, glad you like it!

No I didn't get the pitch detection to work. This patch totally works with sampling, I called it guitar Synthesizer because the samples run through a synth filtering and env engine wich makes it more synthesizeresque sounding.

This is the latest stable version of the patch:

It is quite messy and I am working a lot to change, improve and tidy up some things. If you want to try it the best thing is to extract the lpsmpl object I guess, since this is doing the sampling.
